And yet, this does not prevent piracy at all. Only the legitimate users are punished, which is bull****.

It’s like having a man at the cinema who yells “DON’T RECORD THIS MOVIE!” at the top of his lungs every five minutes. It’s bloody annoying, ruins the movie for the guys who payed £10 a ticket, and the pirates can still download a scream-free version of the movie.

So far, it looks way, way better than Oblivion, and Oblivion was no slouch. It remains to be seen how the characters will animate though, so that’s still a potential worry. I wonder if they still have the same five voice actors they had last time?

Yeah, it looks like this is only going affect things marketed to minors, so the majority of ‘mature’ animé (like Ghost in the Shell or Cowboy Bebop) will be unaffected. Also, it looks like it is mainly focused on curbing the amount of relatively explicit sexual material that is available to minors.

This doesn’t seem like much of a problem to me, but I only watch a couple of animé, so I’m hardly an expert.
